Like the painting technique it is named after, ‘Impasto’ brings a bold, textured burst of colour to the garden. This exuberant shrub rose applies nature’s palette with artistic richness—thick, layered, and full of movement.
Its slightly arching stems carry clusters of 3 to 5 smaller blooms, each one displaying deep yellow tones strongly edged with orange and red. These colours intensify with sun exposure, creating a vivid, dynamic effect. As the flowers age, the tones deepen rather than fade, gradually maturing into a rich, full red, resulting in a constantly evolving display of layered colour.
The rose flowers profusely on bushes that reach about hip height, forming a healthy plant with strong foliage and a relaxed, slightly informal growth habit. It is well suited to large containers, borders, and mass plantings.
A striking presence in the garden, ‘Impasto’ delivers continuous visual impact and a painterly quality that makes it both distinctive and memorable.
